1028 REPORT OF THE HARVARD AFRICAN EXPEDITION 
PREVIOUS Recorps. Recorded by Hill from Procavia capensis, Mtabam- 
hlopi, Natal, and by Bedford from a single male from Procavia capensis coombsi, 
Rooikrans, Transvaal. 

Text Figure 14. — Trichodectes serraticus 
Hill, male and female 
PRESENT REcoRD. Specimens that I take to be this species from Heterohyrax 
pumila rudolfi, Marsabit Road, British East Arrica, and H. brucei bakert, 
Nimule, Ucanpa (all from United States National Museum). 
Notes. If taken at their face value the figures given by Hill indicate clearly 
that he had at hand the male and female of different species, for his figure of the 
female shows clearly what appears to be a heavily sclerotic first sternite such as 
occurs in some other species and Bedford (ref. cited, p. 846) indicates such a 
structure as present in the female only of this species. No such sexual difference 
exists in any species of which I have specimens that permit the definite correla- 
tion of the sexes, these including material which seems rather definitely to agree 
with the male described by Hill. In other respects the female described by Hill 
seems to agree with the male and it is possible that his figure is in error, the 
assumption being supported by the fact that his figures are in many cases mor- 
phologically very inexact. 
The type of serraticus is not indicated by Hill. I therefore designate the male 
as including the holotype. 
The species is well marked. The genitalia of the male (Fig. 154) have the 
basal plate quite large and broadening anteriorly; the preputial sac is beset
